Erkiazz Please try loading the oldest backup you have of this save. Use the manual method here:
https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/recover-backup-save-game/
Whether or not your backup has all the lots, don't save your progress, or if you want to keep playing, use "save as" and rename the save so the currently-intact backup doesn't get corrupted.
If the backup is NOT intact, keep the game open, put it in windowed mode if it isn't already, open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > saves > scratch, and post screenshots of the files inside. You're looking for tiny files: a few bytes rather than KB or MB. You can click the Size header, while in list view, to sort by size.
While you're there, right-click one of the files and select Get Info, then look at the location under Where. Let me know whether iCloud is in the file path.
I have 43 save files going from Slot_00000002.save to Slot_00000008.save.ver4, slot 8 being the most recent one, but it did not change anything. I don't appear to have iCloud anywhere either
